The message
from Janet Baraclough contains these words:

I planted a grape vine over a big pile of (mainly) chicken and bacon
hock bones, and despite their being a couple of feet down, the local
rats started a bone mine.

Had you cleaned off all the meat, or left those gristly bits in the
hocks, and how deep did they have to sink the mineshaft?

Indeed, and made stock from them.
